Wayne D Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks guys. @Lee ford the concrete paving was got on eBay, they are little card sheets that you can cut to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne D Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Not sure where to start here, but it's been a busy day. Started by fitting new Cool White fluorescent lighting above the two displays. Really happy with the difference it has made. Below is a before (top) and after (bottom) showing the difference the new light has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Got my wash bay operator up and running with his new power washer. I still need to sort out some drainage channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 One thing I had been meaning to do was make the floor and walls of the slatted house a little more realistic, being spotlessly clean just wasn't right now the cattle have been in over the winter.

Tractorman810 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 the new lighting makes a huge difference, i got my cool white strips by accident, asumed they were normal ones ,but i am now looking for some more to replace the last plain lights up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks guys. @Tractorman810 and @Paul Palmer yeah really happy with the new lighting, I had hoped the cool white lights would have been better than the standard blubs, but they are so much better.

Pete Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Layouts look the part, and new lighting has made a difference. Hope washer man doesn't fire straight in tanker spout or he may need a clean himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy140 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Your layout's really taking shape. The wash bay looks great with those concrete slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne D Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Some new machinery we had ordered arrived into the yard today. First up we used the T7.210 to unload the Redrock push off buckrake. Next up was our replacement Claas front and rear mowers, we had our last set for 6 seasons and they served us well. The T7.315 was taken out to try them on for size! We are in talks with our local dealer about leasing a Claas 455 Uniwrap Rolant baler for trial this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cheated a little with the rear, it was being held up with some spare tyres hid behind the rear wheel in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea, I'll see if it's going to sit in the field working or if it will be parked in the yard during the summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll try and work around it any time I'm taking photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your very careful,you can "paint" on nail varnish to the rams in thin layers to make them tighter,just make sure everything is completely dry,before raising / lowering or you'll gum everything up, Regards Joe.
